Professor, Technical University of Athens, Greece ST.CHRISTOULAS, Ass. Professor, Technical University of Athens, Greece N.KALTEZIOTIS, Public Works Research Center, Athens, Greece G.TSIAMBAOS, Public Works Research Center, Athens, Greece SYNOPSIS: The Corinth Canal is of great importance regarding the navigation in the Mediterranean Sea and the railway and roadway transportation between Peloponnese and the Central Greece. For a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the marls, found in abundance in the narrow zone of the Corinth Canal, investigations of laboratory and in situ testing have been carried out including: Dril­ ling of boreholes and sampling; laboratory testing (determination of Atterberg limits, unconfined and triaxial compression tests, residual shear strength characteristics of the different types of marls involved, consolidation tests, etc.); mineralogical analysis by using X-Ray diffraction techniques and electronic microscopy. In this paper after considering the Engineering geological aspects of the area, results of the tests described above are presented and critically discussed, some correlations are given and some comparisons with marls from other areas of Greece are considered.

  • Uplift, Deformation and Fluid Involvement Within an Active Normal Fault Zone in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece
    Journal ofthe Geological Society, London, Vol. 151, 1994, pp. 531-541, 7 figs. Printed in Northern Ireland Uplift, deformation and fluid involvement within an active normal fault zone in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece GERALDROBERTS' & IAIN STEWART' 'Research School of Geological and Geophysical Sciences, Birkbeck College and University College London, Gower Street, London WClE 6BT, UK 'Division of Geography and Geology, West London Institute, College of Brunel University, Borough Road, Isleworth TW7 SOU, UK Abstrart: The active Pisia Fault Zone is exposed close to the crest of a rotated carbonate fault-block that forms part of the southern margin to the Gulf of Corinth half-grabenin central Greece. The crest of the fault-block lies above sea-level whilstin the hanging-wall a marine basin exists. As a result, the diagenetic and structural characteristics of the fault zone record complexfluid involvement. Both early phreatic carbonate syn-kinematic cements (characterized by drusy fabrics, baroque dolomites and crack-seal textures) and late vadose carbonate syn-kinematic cements (characterized by flowstones containing cave-collapse debris) exist in the uplifted footwall to the fault. Downward percolation of vadose meteoric waters and the upwelling of pore waters with elevated temperatures produced the diagenetic features observed within the fault zone. The co-existenceof early phreatic and late vadose cementswithin the fault zone is related to footwall uplift across the water-table and subsequent erosionalunroofing. The present-day elevation of phreaticcements to c. 650mabove current sea-level, providesa minimum estimate of footwall uplift along the fault. The wider implication is that temporal changes in deformation and fluid flow may typify fault-block evolution.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project.

  • Euscorpius. 2016(231)
    Another New Species of Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 from the Taurus Mountains in Antalya Province, Southern Turkey (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae) Gioele Tropea, Ersen Aydın Yağmur, Aristeidis Parmakelis & Kadir Boğaç Kunt September 2016 – No. 231 Euscorpius Occasional Publications in Scorpiology EDITOR: Victor Fet, Marshall University, ‘[email protected]’ ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Michael E. Soleglad, ‘[email protected]’ Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio Nominis The name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae). Euscorpius is located at: http://www.science.marshall.edu/fet/Euscorpius (Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia 25755-2510, USA) ICZN COMPLIANCE OF ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS: Electronic (“e-only”) publications are fully compliant with ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) (i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts) when properly archived and registered. All Euscorpius issues starting from No. 156 (2013) are archived in two electronic archives: • Biotaxa, http://biotaxa.org/Euscorpius (ICZN-approved and ZooBank-enabled) • Marshall Digital Scholar, http://mds.marshall.edu/euscorpius/. (This website also archives all Euscorpius issues previously published on CD-ROMs.) Between 2000 and 2013, ICZN did not accept online texts as "published work" (Article 9.8).

The author proposes to identity the exact route of the road as it passed through Kleonaian territoryby combining the evidence of ancient testimonia, the identification of ancient roadside features, the ac- counts of early travelers,and autopsy.The act of tracing the road serves to emphasizethe prominentposition of the city Kleonaion this interstateroute, which had significant consequences both for its own history and for that of neighboring states. INTRODUCTION Much of the historyof the polis of Kleonaiwas shapedby its location on a numberof majorroutes from the Isthmus and Corinth into the Peloponnese.1The most importantof thesewas a majorartery for north- south travel;from the city of Kleonai,the immediatedestinations of this roadwere Corinthto the north and Argos to the south.It is in connec- tion with its roadsthat Kleonaiis most often mentionedin the ancient sources,and likewise,modern topographical studies of the areahave fo- cusedon definingthe coursesof these routes,particularly that of the main 1.

This is particular­ ly true for the classical period wnere the sources are few and scattered. For the archaic period the situation has been somewhat better. One of the first attempts toward the study of Corinthian 1 history was made in 1876 by Ernst Curtius. This brief art­ icle had no pretensions to a thorough investigation of the subject, merely suggesting lines of inquiry and stressing the importance of numisihatic evidence. A contribution of 2 similar score was undertaken by Erich Wilisch in a brief discussion suggesting some of the problems and possible solutions. This was followed by a second brief discussion 3 by the same author.
